Operation convert-pdfa

The convert-pdfa operation allows for the conversion of a PDF file to a PDF/A archive, which is a specialized format designed for long-term preservation of electronic documents.
PDF/A ensures that documents will be rendered correctly and consistently over time, even if the software and hardware used to view the documents change.

Available Options

Option Name Type Possible Values Description
validation_profile string pdfa1a, pdfa1b, pdfa2a, pdfa2b, pdfa2u, pdfa3a, pdfa3b, pdfa3u The converted file is PDF/A compliant to the specified profile
strict_mode boolean true, false If true, it will not modify the appearance of the input file in order to make it PDF/A compliant. This means that any elements of the file that do not meet the requirements of the selected PDF/A profile will not be altered, potentially resulting in a non-compliant PDF/A file and a failing conversion.

If false, the convert-pdfa operation will make any necessary modifications to the input file in order to make it PDF/A compliant.
allow_multiple_outputs boolean true, false If the comparison produces more than one output file, by default all of them are compressed in just one file. Set this option to true if you want a download link for each file.

Profile Description
pdfa1a This profile requires that all fonts be embedded and that the document's visual appearance be fully self-contained
pdfa1b This profile is similar to pdfa1a, but allows for certain color spaces to be not embedded
pdfa2a This profile is similar to pdfa1a, but allows for the use of transparent objects and requires that the document be tagged with logical structure information
pdfa2b This profile is similar to pdfa2a, but allows for certain color spaces to be not embedded
pdfa2u This profile is similar to pdfa2a, but allows for Unicode encoding of text strings
pdfa3a This profile is similar to pdfa2a, but allows for the use of JPEG 2000 image compression
pdfa3b This profile is similar to pdfa3a, but allows for certain color spaces to be not embedded
pdfa3u This profile is similar to pdfa3a, but allows for Unicode encoding of text strings
